Rebuilding American Manufacturing through Free-Market Incentives
Market-based tax and finance incentives to restore domestic manufacturing, strengthen critical supply chains, and counter China's mercantilism. Estimated returns of $2–$4 trillion in cumulative GDP, 3–5 million jobs, and $100–$250B/yr in trade improvement.
We have a tremendous opportunity to incentivize manufacturing companies to adopt advanced manufacturing, innovate, and restore lost American product leadership while regaining national security. Current equity and loan programs, while critical to the DIB, cannot scale to the tens of thousands of middle-tier suppliers required for a robust industrial base. This package uses simple tax and finance incentives tied to Domestic Value Added (DVA: U.S. labor, facilities, and domestic inputs) to improve manufacturing returns and unlock lower-cost private financing across the full supply chain, especially the "missing middle" which current programs do not reach.
Manufacturing returns lag other industries: money and talent follow returns. If we want to rebuild manufacturing, we need to improve its return profile.
A Free-Market Incentive Suite
This package complements the One Big Beautiful Bill, Administration actions, OSC, and LPO by introducing free-market incentives throughout the manufacturing supply chain.
